Bucannon (6-foot-1, 211) was a first-team All-American in 2013 after leading the Pac 12 in tackles (114) and tying for the conference lead in interceptions (6). His 15 career picks rank third in Wazzu history. Bucannon is a striker with speed (4.49) and explosive short-area athleticism (10-foot-5 broad jump). His cover skills are a work in progress, but Bucannon is ready to play "in the box" in the pros, and at very least will pose an immediate force on special teams. The Cardinals needed an upgrade next to Tyrann Mathieu, and Bucannon will at the very least be the No. 3 safety as a rookie alongside Mathieu and Rashad Johnson. Thu, May 8, 2014 11:20:00 PM

Washington State S Deone Bucannon's visit with the Seahawks, which began on Monday, will run through Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson.

Bucannon, who has already visited the Colts, Patriots, Vikings and Ravens, has another busy week planned. After Seattle, he'll visit Philadelphia and the Eagles between Tuesday and Wednesday, the New York Jets Wednesday-Thursday, and the New York Giants Thursday-Friday. The 6-foot-1, 211-pounder, a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award last season, is a huge hitter who can also cover. Mon, Apr 21, 2014 10:50:00 PM

Washington State S Deone Bucannon has visited the Patriots, Colts and Ravens this week, according to Aaron Wilson.

Bucannon also has the Eagles, Jets and Giants scheduled before the visit deadline. The aggressive safety has drawn plenty of interest as of late. He might lack lateral agility, but Bucannon takes tight lines and closes in a hurry. He could wind up in the second-round. Fri, Apr 18, 2014 11:21:00 AM

"When I watch this guy on film, he's a pro," said Conway. "He's the fastest safety in the draft. He's rated, in my opinion, right there with Clinton-Dix and Pryor because he's just that good." Mike Mayock ranks the 6-foot-1, 211-pounder No. 4 amongst safeties, behind NIU's Jimmie Ward. But Conway has agreement from colleague Charles Davis. "I think Bucannon is much more of a pure safety. He can play strong safety but I think he does a nice job in center field too," Davis said. "He has better range than people give him credit for and we know he can tackle. Plus he plays huge in the big games." Sun, Apr 13, 2014 07:44:00 PM
